Little house on a budget

This isn’t a ‘living on benefits’ blog but certainly about living on a very low income. It isn’t just a cooking blog either, although cooking will probably take centre stage. I don’t want to write about the things that are a problem because I want it to be a more uplifting piece of writing. More a case of how I am overcoming some of the problems I face. More Recipes and articles will appear as I make, grow, cook and photograph them. To learn more click on About this Blog below

Carrot Salad

For slight variations of this recipe I add either a pineapple ring cut into small chunks or tablespoon of chopped Pistachio nuts

100g Carrot
1 tblsp Raisins
1 tblsp Boiling water
1 tblsp Mayonnaise
1 tblsp Plain Yoghurt

1. Soak the raisins in the boiling water for 10 minutes and then drain. Meanwhile grate the carrot on a large grater into a bowl.

2. Add the plum raisins to the carrot and add the ground ginger, mayonnaise, yoghurt and maple syrup and mix thoroughly.

3. Best made at least 1 hour in advance but can be left in the fridge for up to 3 days.
